It's the time of year where I'll give you the much anticipated update of whom to look out for in the future.

We all know our scouts are up-to-date with the young starlets over here in Denmark (at least so it seems) but are you?

Kenneth Zohore
Became the second youngest player in the Champions League ever when subbed on against Barca for FC Copenhagen. Only just turned 17-years-old but are already build like and ox and is as strong as one as well. Has lost a bit of his puppy-fat over the past year and looks more and more like a potential top-class striker to me.

I've watched Lukaku play a few times and in comparison I don't think there's much between them to be honest. Both are quick, strong and good on the ball. Lukaku is of course ahead of Zohore at this point but also much more expensive.

Zohores fathers cousin is one Didier Drogba. They've even met once or twice. The last time around at Stamford Bridge. This is all pretty irrelevant stuff but now you know.

Lucas Andersen
I've only seen this lad myself in glimpses so far but he's getting sky high reviews. And this lad we certainly know very well already as he's been to Liverpool on trials twice in the past.

16-year-old attacking midfielder/winger with exceptional skills on the ball and great vision. According to Lynge Jacobsen - the owner of AaB - they've never seen such a young lad with such a range of skills as this Lucas. Greater in terms of talent than Jesper Grønkjær who came from the same academy. Not only does he look a bit like a Nordic version of Suso, his ways on the pitch does a bit too. Has already got his debut in the Superliga despite his tender age.

Viktor Fischer
Perhaps the pick of a very talented crop of Danish youngsters coming through the ranks.

Nurtured in the FC Midtjylland Academy (same as Simon Kjær) and a key-player in the Danish U17 team qualifying (alongside i.e. England) for the upcoming U17 EC in Serbia in May.

Another attacking midfielder with a great eye for goal as well. 17 goals in 22 games so far in the U17 national side tells it own story. Depsite him still not having enjoyed his debute in the Superliga, FCM has already turned down several bids. AC Milan and Ajax are both rumoured to have had bid in the region of £1M-£1.5M turned down already. Several other leading European clubs are said to be sniffing.

The fact he's born on the same date as me just undelines his potential. IMHO.

*winks*

Thanx KHL!

Cheers Roland.

I'm going to catch as many games as possible in the upcoming U17 EC and hopefully there'll be a few Liverpool-lads invloved as well. Will be interesting to see their level against the other nations and their teammates. England are amongst the favourites and will face Denmark in the group phase.

According to a few of the coaches and managers in and around the Danish team, the 1994 crop of players are the most talented ever. That's quite a promise to be honest.

Re: 3 players to watch in the future

Adam Morgan and Raheem Sterling looks set to be involved for England. Would've thought Connor Coady as well?

Anyone heard about this Hallam Hope lad from Everton btw?

4 goals in six games during the qualifiers are not to shabby.
 
Re: 3 players to watch in the future

Our pay channel usually shows us all the major footballing tournaments that happen so I'll check the schedule to see if it will be on. I've enjoyed watching our U18's and the Reserves. We have some sensational talent coming through and I'm pretty excited about the lads.

Coady, Flanagan, Robinson, Wisdom are all 18 years old and ineligible to play.

You have to be born in 1994 or later.

Sterling and Morgo are definitely in and so is Regan. Brad Smith and goalkeeper Belford are in contention as well.
 
The best young player on Villareals books is a lad called Pablo Iniguez.... he scored two weeks ago on his debut for the U-17 spanish against England and apparently is banging on the door of the first team already.

I have been leaving subliminal messages that Liverpool is a fine fine place for a young fella to be and Castellon is a fucking dump full of cunts.
 
I bought Zohore on Fifa 11 about 2 weeks ago (I'm a bit pedo like Arsene in Fifa, always looking for the younsters), they seem to rate him as much as you KHL. Outstanding Finishing and Long Shot ratings for a youngster and the same 6' 4" (1.95 meters) and built like brick as Lukaku but not quite as fast. I'd take him in real life hoping he could develop as Carroll's understudy.
 
16-year-old Fischer on his way to Ajax in £1.2M deal.

Guess that could mean Eriksen is off in a few years as they occupy pretty much the same spot.

@Shelvey

My guess is that they are right mate, Lukaku is probably the faster of the two.
 
The tournament is kicking off today at 1500 hours (CET) with the hosts from Serbia attending Denmark.

If you by any means are going to catch the game (as I'm sure our scouts are) then take a closer look at the following Danish players:

Kenneth Zohore - Big, strong and powerful striker with a vicious shot (FC Copenhagen)

Viktor Fischer - Multitalented attacking midfielder/withdrawn forward (Ajax)

Lucas Andersen - According to his coaches back home one of the most skilled 16-year-olds they've ever seen in action. Winger who's been to Liverpool on trials twice already. (Aalborg)

Frederik Holst - Utility player of higest order. Very mature compared to his age (a big moustache kind of reveals this) and he can play everywhere on the pitch better than most according to the youth coaches in Brondby. Utilized today as a defender, I reckon. (Brøndby)

Generally there'll be loads of interesting players outthere today - not least from Serbia but I can't give you any updates on beforehand about that lot.

This current crop of Danish U17-youngsters has been touted as the most talented year (1994) ever in Danish football so forgive me if I'm a wee bit excited.

😀
 
if we had andersen on trial twice, and he is all that, why didn't we try and get him to join us?

Who knows maybe we already have?

It's not unthinkable we've got an option at least if he impressed during his trials. (He did score a goal against Wrexham in his first trial with Liverpool when he was 14).

There are other ways to secure a deal with a young promising player than to send them to Melwood right away.

For starters despite his tender age (16) he's already made seven appearances for AaB in the Danish Superliga this Season and he's made an impact. I'm sure that he's maturing faster as a player this way than playing for the Reserves in England.

He's fast, extremely skillful on the ball and has got a great eye for his teammates. Will be interesting to watch him against even-aged opposition during the Euro U17s.
 
I doubt any player with both names "Lucas" and "Andersen" in his name.
 
fair enough khl. Just curious. wasn't accusing anyone of owt!

I know you weren't mate and it's a good question.

I was merely highlighting that some sort of deal still could be in place. First refusal or something. I don't know obviously but after the Euro's I'll determine whether I believe we should have one or not.

I didn't realise Sterling changed to England, I thought he was playing for Jamaica, all for it just like John Barnes.
 
Raheem, Sterling and Morgan on the bench. 😉
No sign of Regan.
Brad Smith starting.

Cheers for the updates.

You watching that game Modo?
 
Lucas Andersen.

Injured.

Zohore went inches wide and then Andersen twisted his knee whilst trying to reach the second ball.

nope not on the telly.
live updates.
 
Is Sterling carrying a knock and that why he on the bench , or have we overhyped the young lad and he's not good enough to start for England ?
 
Fischer squanderes a big chance beautifully set up by Zohore.

On the following corner he then hits a spectacular volley from outside the area only to see it hit the woodwork.

The Danes should be one up by now. Or two even.

They reckon they've got better wingers than him.
 
What a goal from Serbia.

Curled into the nearest corner directly from a freekick. Jesic I guess it was.
